On April 10th my mother will be gone 3 years. My father announced the other day that we are done mourning. You see my mother left all of us a letter that said Mourn for a while, but get on with your lives. Well something like that, but I will say it has gotten easier. We are busy living and while I miss her its not as heart renching as it used to be. But just as we are getting it back together, my father decides he is moving in with my sister, so.........we get to inherit "STUFF" again. I choose wisely because I have limited space and hopefully everything will fit. Mostly a painting, some tupperware, old movies and some photographs.
This is also why I know I am not mourning so much anymore. As I sit on the sofa looking around I yell "Mom, you have too much crap". She is not even here and we are still going through her stuff.
oh yeah and some bookcases........little ones.

This makes perfect sense! Know I truly understand why my mother is a pack rat. It's hereditary. Well it stops with me, that's for sure. My mother is not physically capable of coming over with any less than 6 items. It takes her 30 minutes to unload the car when she arrives and she only lives 20 minutes away. And she can't understand why I get so frustrated. One day I finally yelled, "Mom! Can't you come over one day and just bring your purse?"
3 years already! It does go fast. One thing we can't stop is time. I've learned that much. I think about your Mom every time I look at my bass or a painting in my house. I'm glad she left you girls the letter and that your Dad is there to tell you its ok to get on with your lives. He's a pretty smart guy, not so diplomatic, but bright.
